Two women were killed after a car crash on Sunday morning in Panola County, Texas.

Officials with the Texas Department of Public Safety were called to the crash site at 9:54 a.m. on U.S. 59, just south of Carthage.

The crash took place when a 2008 Dodge Ram towing a trailer was traveling north on U.S. 59 in the left lane. The report shows a 2021 Mazda CX5, driven by a 21-year-old identified as Hunter Wilkes, was traveling west on the Loop U.S. 59 exit ramp, trying to turn left onto U.S. 59.

Wilkes’s vehicle was hit by the 2008 Dodge Ram towing a trailer after it entered the intersection.

Hunter Wilkes and Alexis Wilkes were both pronounced dead at the scene.

A child in the same vehicle was admitted to UT Health East Texas in Carthage. His condition is stable.

The 79-year-old male driver of the Dodge Ram was taken to the same healthcare center and his condition is stable as well.
